Rose (Chayote)

[Guest guest]

Nom she only cooked the chayote and she boiled it in milk.  Eeeuuuuu LOL

I don't where she got that idea.  No one liked it.

I make chayote and grated potato patties with lots of onions, add to soups and I

love it steamed.

I never thought to use the not clam tempeh recipe of mine as a stuffing for

mushrooms, squash, etc.  I shall give it a try.

Thanks Donna, I got inspired by your not clam recipe!

 

Yes, it is an alien looking plant indeed! Very easy to start/grow. Just buy a

chayote pear from the store. We got 3 of them to be able to select the best

looking ones. I left them in my potato bin (semi darkness) and they started

sprouting shoots after a couple of weeks. One of them seemed blemished so we did

not use it. You wait until the shoots are about a foot long and plant the whole

thing in the ground. The whole fruit is really the seed. We gave it lots of

compost and some good soil, and water of course. We have already harvested about

20 large chayotes and it is just getting started, out of one plant. It is

perennial in our climate, so next year we will get even more!

 

Everything about this plant is edible, the shoots (good in stir fries), the

whole fruit including the pit, and the root of the plant. I have not tried the

root yet, I wonder how this will be. Did your MIL cook the root in any way? I

think it is called pipinola?
